Surviving the Circus

Interesting mix of not so useful news today, beginning with teens who text have better literacy skills. That's nice. In Israel, they have concluded after a study that FaceBook contributes to eating disorders among their teen girls. Really? Forget about the magazines, television shows, commercials, billboards, movies and rock stars.... it's all FaceBook's fault. That's ridiculous. Wonder which big company funded THAT study? Meanwhile, pray for peace in Egypt and the world.

"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding." ~ Albert Einstein Wonder what Einstein and other such philosophers might have said about those who refuse to communicate - refuse to attempt understanding? For instance, how can one live in peace, if their neighbor attacks them - if such a neighbor has no desire to understand - then, where is peace to be found? Is the peaceful neighbor destined to martyrdom... in order to preserve peace? Yes, the faithful can have peace in their hearts... that is not in question. True peace of community, nation and world... that is the question.
